My Thought:-
Love: The natural feeling of affection one has for somebody else
Trust: The feeling of security that someone else will not hurt or harm you
A relationship consists of the three elements. The intensity of each respective element can be from initial to very intense and from positive to negative. Hate is a feeling of love. It is just a intense negative form. A good relationship has a balanced positive combination of Love, Trust and Respect.
Love Trust Respect explains that by nature Like/Love comes first, followed by Trust and ultimately by Respect
A healthy relationship is based on respect.
It's when:
-you have fun together
-you both feel like you can be yourself
-you can have different opinions and interests
-you listen to each other
-you trust each other
-you can both compromise, say sorry, and talk arguments out
-you don't have to spend all of you spare time together - you can spend time on your own, or with your own friends and family.

Building Trust
Trust doesn't just naturally happen between two people, even if they love each other. It takes work and if you've been hurt in the past, it can be especially difficult. Building trust takes time, you need to show your partner that you are trustworthy and that you trust them in return. If your partner has trouble trusting, you can do a lot to create an environment where trust can grow. Listen to your partner, respect him and his opinions, and accept him as he is. Reveal parts of your own history, show him that you trust him and you will help him to do the same. If you are vulnerable it helps your partner to feel that he is safe to be vulnerable as well.
TIPS to help you and your partner develop trust in each other.
